"Rock, Stone, pebble, sand
Body, shoulder arm, hand,
A moat to dig,
A shell to keep
All the world is wide and deep."
Simple and lovely, this gentle picture book shows a couple of families....from the beach in summer, to a farmer's market, climbing trees and in downpours, eating out and settling cozily in -- family members from young to old. Wonderful illustrations, some full page, some like little vignettes, tell so much. Hunt and look closely. There's so much to see!
"All the world is you and me
Everything you hear, smell, see
Hope and peace and love and trust
All the world is all of us."
